In 2007, His Holiness the Dalai Lama addressed a sold-out crowd at Radio City Music Hall in New York City to discuss ways in which individuals can cultivate virtuous qualities within themselves to bring about peace and prosperity in today's world.

Following an introduction by Richard Gere, the Dalai Lama further expands upon his desire to promote religious harmony and tolerance among all the countries and peoples of the world. The film includes a question and answer session with candid responses from His Holiness on such topics as achieving inner peace amidst the chaos of New York City, the difficulty of converting the practice of patience from a theory to reality and the challenges of remaining hopeful despite the violence in today's world.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama: Peace and Prosperity offers insight to those seeking peace and contentment in their everyday lives. The film is a historic record of one of the world's most important spiritual leaders and brings his unique message of hope and compassion to audiences throughout the world.
